    It’s like really hitting me that the shit I’ve been saying is real. I hoped I was just being dramatic but it’s more and more clear my country has checked out.

    Call me if they start to rally but I just can’t raise anymore flags right now.

      Everywhere I go, usually I’m the most pessimistic person in the room, but today I’ll say that the fat lady hasn’t sung yet. The first 2025 protest I went to, couple of weeks ago, there were four people, counting me. The second and third, there were a dozen, then two dozen. On Monday there were hundreds — an actual crowd. Yeah, it ought to be tens of thousands, but America is waking up.
